    Rented Sector Scheme

    Is the Rented Sector Scheme a legal requirement to carryout EICR's on rented properties. I can not see why there needs to be another scheme to carryout EICR on rentals when you are an Approved Contractor.

    On a domestic property,owned by the householder, the general opinion on no rcd protection is a C3 as long as other conditions are met.So therefore the EICR could get a satisfactory on it.
